OneTouch elevates hit title in Miko Festival Feature Buy
Latest ‘Powered by OneTouch’ release, Miko Festival Feature Buy, brings back a fan favourite with additional features to further enhance the player experience.
First released in 2022, this new iteration comes with a Feature Buy option, enabling players to shortcut into the thrilling bonus round where big wins can be secured.
Players in search of the game’s biggest action can directly access the Free Spins mode with two different Bonus Buy options, with one of the features offering an 89% chance of retriggering.
The unique Three Sisters Feature can be triggered in the base game in this anime inspired slot, with players offered the choice to accompany the cheerful Kagura, the graceful Suzu or spirited Yukata as they celebrate Gion Matsuri, Japan’s most famous festival.
Each sister provides a different element, including a Shooting Game that transforms regular symbols in the crosshair into a wild or a scatter, a Ring Toss game where all the tiles on any reels with a ring tossed around them will turn into the same symbol for potentially massive wins, while the Fortune Game sees a price stick to any wild symbol to reveal multipliers or hearts.
All three games see the title’s Heart-o-Metre fill up if any of the sisters land fully stacked on the reels. Collecting enough hearts triggers the Kissing Bonus, where there is a chance to win 200x the bet.
Madis Raus, Head of OneTouch, said: “Miko Festival Feature Buy demonstrates our commitment to delivering content that really resonates with players, serving up a proven title with additional features that take this game to a new level.
“Buy features are extremely popular, offering a chance to quickly access the action, and this title is a great example of how we respond to player demand.”
